Live broadcast of Honkai Impact 3rd, I chose to expose Kiana in Sky City!

She raised her hand and gestured horizontally across her neck.

And the reference object on the opposite side, which looked like Otto, also gave the same reminder as Otto.

[If this is an ordinary dream, you will either wake up or continue to have the next dream. ]

[But since your consciousness is clear at the moment... then there is a risk that it will completely dissipate. ]

After hearing this explanation, Theresa reacted quickly.

In other words, I cannot give up thinking and must find the flaw in this dream...

Although, I don’t even know why I am trapped here?

[That's right. You should also pay attention, Theresa - since this is your own dream... then its flaws must also be your own weaknesses.]

【...】

Theresa listened to the grandfather's teachings and couldn't help but close her eyes...

While she was thinking, Otto suddenly spoke up and reminded her.

【Be careful. They are coming. 】

As Theresa looked surprised, many clones that looked exactly like her rushed towards her.

Although at this moment, she didn't know what exactly happened.

But because of Otto's previous reminder, she began to fight hard, just like... when she fought with other Kallen's clones at the Destiny Research Institute.

After dealing with the clones one by one, an extremely huge Honkai beast suddenly appeared in Saint Freya.

It...is none other than the emperor-level Honkai beast Pavanti that he once defeated!

Chapter 456 Goodbye, all Otto Apokalis!

Theresa was a little surprised when the enemy she had defeated in the past reappeared.

But as a more experienced Valkyrie, she quickly calmed down and defeated her once powerful enemy once again.

After finishing the job, Theresa returned to Otto with a resolution in her mind.

[I see. "A Series" clones and "Pavanti"... I think I know what kind of enemies will appear here next.]

【Like me? 】

"Ah...is this a joke or is it true?"

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

Although Kiana knew that this man who looked like Otto was just an illusion of Otto in Theresa's memory.

But to be honest, they look too similar.

"What a cold joke..."

"It's really cold, but it's also something he could say."

"It's really weird. They say it's some residual memory, but I think it's more like that guy is alive~"

In the live broadcast room, comments from the audience floated across.

Archbishop Otto is an important character throughout the storyline of Honkai Impact 3rd, so everyone has always had a deep impression of him.

Of course, impressions are not necessarily all good.

At least if the bishop really came back to life, everyone in the live broadcast room would probably be angry for a long time.

So it is better to let people from the past stay in the past.

This is actually true for Theresa as well.

"..."

Faced with Otto's jokes, Theresa maintained an awkward but polite silence.

【Sorry, I shouldn't have made that joke.】

Faced with Theresa's silence, Otto tactfully admitted his mistake.

However, most of the viewers in the live broadcast room felt that he was probably slowly estimating Theresa's bottom line in his mind.

After all, given everything this man has done in the past, it is hard to believe that he would sincerely apologize.

[Perhaps you still doubt this - but I am indeed your companion.]

As it turned out, everyone in the live broadcast room guessed correctly.

Otto made that joke on purpose.

The purpose was to test Theresa's attitude.

When it comes to understanding people's hearts, even the imaginary Otto is one of the strongest.

[Deep in your consciousness. Otto Apokalis has a kind half; and this "he" can perhaps also be called...the other you in the mirror. ]

【...】

Hearing Otto speaking these words in a familiar tone, Theresa finally couldn't hold it anymore.

At this moment, Theresa's expression was like this: (? ? ?)

[This annoying feeling in you is exactly the same as his. ]

[Mirrors are annoying, of course. They don’t always reflect the sides of us that we like. Of course, I’m not trying to make excuses for anyone. For some people, manipulating the mirror is a skill that comes naturally to them.]

Archbishop Otto, who called himself a mirror, responded with a few words and brought the topic back on track.

He knew what Theresa was most concerned about, so he said very frankly that to disintegrate this dream based on St. Freya Academy - following the way it disintegrated in reality was undoubtedly the option with the highest success rate.

【......Dogmatic area.】

After learning this, Theresa quickly thought of that area.

This is a name that no one has mentioned for a long time. This place, nominally known as the "Underground Central Teaching Space", is the channel through which Saint Freya obtains cutting-edge technology from the Destiny Headquarters... and it is also the place where the Herrscher core in Kiana's body awakened again.

[That’s right. That’s the place where the three parties, Heaven’s Fate, the Anti-Eternal, and the Ruler of the Void, all played games.]

After saying this, Otto took the initiative to urge Theresa to set off.

【Let's go and see what's hidden there this time. 】

On the way to the Dogma District, Theresa and Otto talked about some past events.

That is the story about the founding of St. Freya - the reason is that the school that Otto built for Theresa was too luxurious.

However, many years later, Theresa realized that no matter whether it was luxurious or simple, as long as it could live there, it was fine.

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the door of the Central Church.

[Oh, we are here. The Central Church of St. Freya.]

[After opening the door, go down the stairs and you should be able to reach the most confidential place on this campus. ]

Although he didn't come to this place often, Otto seemed to know everything about it better than Theresa.

【......Um. 】

[What's wrong? He looks thoughtful.]

During Otto's questioning, Theresa then told him what she recalled.

That's about Himeko's sacrifice...

Maybe others don't know, but for Theresa and Saint Freya, a competent teacher died just like that...

Theresa thought this fact was more sad than losing a friend.

[But the past is gone, and the matter is settled. All you can do is to cheer up and look forward on her behalf.]

At this moment, Otto was unexpectedly good at comforting people.

[Didn’t you discuss this in Klosten? The real difficulties may still be far from coming.]

【...】

After listening to Otto's speech, Theresa fell silent again.

At this moment, she had realized that she was actually in a dream.

But an idea also emerged in my mind - as an enemy, this man is indeed difficult to deal with. But as a friend, he is unexpectedly reliable.

[Anyway, let's take a look at what secrets are hidden behind this door in the dream.]

As the door slowly opened, what finally appeared before Theresa's eyes was a red desert, broken buildings, and a magnificent tree that was out of reach...

At the end of the dream, there is no place of atonement hiding secrets, but only the final resting place that once belonged to a certain man.

And at this moment, the incarnation of "his" image happened to step into this red desert, and couldn't help but think of "himself" who made the world better and worse at the same time.

[Speech. Theresa. If there is a bottle of Armagnac brandy, I really want to sit here and have a few glasses.]

[Look? What a beautiful tree, isn't it?]

As Archbishop Otto once again made this frivolous joke, Theresa's expression once again changed to: (? ? ?)

[Aren't you claiming to be the consciousness in my dream? How come you speak even more frivolously than the real me? ]

[Hey, Theresa - humor is good for your health. You really need to learn from him in this regard.]

Theresa couldn't help but cover her head after being teased by Otto.

[…Okay, okay. I should have known that your way of comforting people is very "special". Then can you tell me first, is this place we are in a dream in our brain, or an imaginary space in reality?]

Theresa stroked her chin and said with a thoughtful expression.

[——At least I don’t think that I can construct such a real place in my dream just by relying on Yulandel’s retelling.]

【really. 】

After hearing her inquiry, the reliable Archbishop Otto began to popularize science.

They had passed through almost the entire St. Freya Academy. Up to that moment, everything was undoubtedly Theresa's "memory".

But now they were here, a place that was definitely not part of Theresa's memory.

This either means that Theresa's real body has been infected by imaginary numbers...or it means that her dreams and those of others are becoming intertwined and merged.

[And in my opinion, the more likely scenario is that these two are happening at the same time. So, I started to wonder...]

After finishing the basic part, Archbishop Otto began to talk about the key part.

[…Hyperion is in lunar orbit. Where are they from? How can they interfere with you? And why are they doing this?]

"Incredible, has this man read the script?"

A bullet screen with moonlight special effects floated across the live broadcast room...

Obviously, Otto's display of magical powers surprised Kiana greatly.

Anyway, she didn't expect that this man, who was just an illusion, could be so smart.

He actually started his own reasoning directly when there were few known conditions.

"It's really amazing, but if it's him, it wouldn't be that strange."

"Yes, indeed. If it is this man..."

"After all, it's him. If he couldn't have predicted this, it would be strange, wouldn't it?"

As comments from people in the live broadcast room floated by one after another, Otto's analysis of the current situation was basically completed.

Theresa also guessed that he was asking the question even though he knew the answer.

The reason is that when "Otto" said this, he must have had an idea.

【Ha ha ha ha...】

Otto laughed out loud when he heard Theresa say this so bluntly.

[Okay, I won't keep you in suspense. Since we suspect that Hyperion may be being eroded by the imaginary space...then in theory, we can also do the opposite and use this to contact the "subject" of this invasion.]

[So, although the current situation is confusing, this is also a great opportunity for us to contact the mastermind behind the scenes. However... this is an endless desert. If I were the builder of the maze, I would not be so stupid as to leave a backdoor path for the enemy to pass through. ]

It turns out that Archbishop Otto is surprisingly reliable as a companion.

It can be said to be an almost all-powerful think tank.
